I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Car rights > pedestrian rights. Pedestrians are the lowest of the low. Untermensch. Weirdly enough in Texas, gun rights > car rights, so there are a few recent cases of cars trying to murder pedestrians and cyclists, and the pedestrian lights up the car. In every case I read, the driver was arrested. I think the shooter called the cops first or something. Very normal that I should carry a gun to go for a stroll.

Finally he handed me back my ID and said "OK, you got lucky, but listen: There are people in this city who would beat your rear end for doing that." And I thought drat, true, a life lesson from a pig. And then he leaned in a little bit closer across his passenger seat and said "Matter of fact, if you did that to my car, I'd put six loving rounds into you."

Did he have an old service revolver in his glovebox or do TPS really have the trigger discipline to squeeze off exactly six rounds?

People who see cars as like an extension of themselves blow me away. A friend of mine who I used to think was pretty cool - I told her about the time as a pedestrian someone turned right into my leg and hit me and I slammed my fist down on their hood to get them to stop - and she was like "wow I would have been pissed and slammed on the gas for that" and I was like "welp guess we arent friends any more what the gently caress"

Like how the gently caress could you pull an assault charge for spitting on a car unless people see the car as an extension of themselves.

But of course ramming into you is not the same and how dare you threaten to kill me when I threaten to kill 5 different people everyday on the way to get coffee

Look its cheaper to make this plastic bag that someone might use 2 times ever than this cotton bag that you can use basically forever. checkmate.

I'm on year 16 of using the same like 4 bags for all my grocery shopping

I am doing the same. I even got the bags for free. In Finland you have to pay for plastic bags. Instead of spending hundreds for plastic bags, I’ve spent no money at all!

Sadly in Toronto the only thing that has more rights than a car is the statue of Ted Rogers.

You have to make it through jury selection first though, which is designed to weed out people who want to do this. For example, every time I've been in the selection they've straight asked me how I feel about police. One time they asked me if I thought it would be funny if someone threw a plate of spaghetti through a window (the defendant had thrown a plate of spaghetti through a window).

All of us were like, nope, not funny at all, even though it's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. That was the one case I really wanted to sit through but they struck me of course.

This man's hate for cars. I respect it

https://komonews.com/news/local/man...uspect-arrested

quote:

LYNNWOOD, Wash. — Authorities have arrested a man after he barricaded himself in an auto shop and set part of the building on fire.

Around 5 p.m. Friday, A man entered an auto body shop in Lynnwood and charged at the manager wielding a screwdriver, according to police. Employees in the shop intervened and corralled the man, but he managed to barricade himself in a room full of acetylene tanks, oxygen tanks and welding equipment in the auto shop.

Or it was meth. But I choose to believe it was a pure latent hatred for all things cars.
